The Praxis of Practice

Praxis is a word meaning to take theory into practice. At Truett, we believe that no one is ever completely finished with learning how to minister. Effective ministers are always in a process of learning how best to communicate, to serve, and to minister to people. In a sense, they practice their call--always striving to be better. Thus, our mentoring program allows our students to take their classroom knowledge and practice it in a ministry setting. Hence, the praxis of practice.

Truett's own Dr. Joel Gregory spoke as the closing keynote speaker at the 2015 Baptist World Congress (the first held in Africa), inspiring the attendees with his sermon: "Going through the Door of Opportunity."
